Mongols And Global History Essay

587 words - 3 pages

The Mongols helped bridge a connection between the east and west in numerous ways. They did not only impact Europe, but Asia as well. To add on, they did not only have positive effects, but they had negative effects as too. They set the base for Eurasian history by using commercial, political, and artistic relations among Chinese, Islamic, Russian, and European civilizations. Workers such as craftsmen and missionaries traveled across the continents. In addition, culture, technological, and culinary diffusion took place.
Originally, China was a Confucius society but then the Mongols exposed Tibetan Buddhism, which attracted several Ming and Qing dynasties and their people. Economically, during the Mongol era, the increase in commerce greatly benefited merchants and consumers. Agriculture remained the same, but the European demand for Asian products encouraged a way to find a less ...view middle of the document...

He also divided his people into groups of one thousand. This was created to undermine the authority of the old clan and tribal leaders. Ghenghis Khan was ruthless. He got the name Ghenghis which meant “fierce ruler.” He did whatever he could do to win. He didn’t care how, as long as he won in the end. Ghenghis Khan had a policy of religious toleration for not only difference religions, but also different ethnic groups. One of his most compelling legacy was the Fasagh. The Fasagh was a set of rules and laws. These laws talked about military, governance, and more. These laws focused mainly on nomadic pastoral society. Nomadic pastoral society is another term for clans and tribes who moved around a lot. These laws couldn’t be applied to empires that ruled permanent towns or cities. These laws also mandated punishment for horse thieves, the system for organizing Mongols into large groups, and demand absolute compliance to the khan’s dictates. As you can tell, Ghenghis Khan’s nick name complimented him very well. The Pax Mongolica means Mongol Peace. This allowed trade, technologies, commodities, and ideologies to be spread all throughout Europe and Asia.
Before Ghenghis Khan died he chose his son Ogodei to be the Great Khanate. Ogodei continued to complete his father’s military campaign. He defeated the Jin dynasty and Polish troops, launched an assault on Eastern Europe, and attacked Hungary. An accomplishment of Ogodei was the creation of the capital city of Khara Khorum. Unlike destroying every city that crosses his path, Ogodei actually planned to rule this capital. The capital wasn’t heavily populated. To add on, this held a great burden on the city because every day a lot of carts and vans would come by to provide food and necessities for the population. After Ogodei’s death there were a lot of problems for who would become the next Great Khanate because there was no adopted system of succession. Overall, the invasion of the Mongol empire is seen as a catalyst for change to the modern era.
